The Peace and Order Council (POC) is the government's platform for stronger collaboration of the LGU with law enforcement agencies and the community to fight criminality, illegal drugs, insurgency, and violent extremism. It creates an enabling environment among its members to harmonize and effectively implement peace and order and public safety activities.

The POC Performance Audit aims to 1) Assess Performance of the Regional, Provincial, City, and Municipal POCs on their functionality; 2) Identify the innovations conducted and initiated by the POCs and their POC Secretariats; 3) Determine possible interventions and improvement strategies for POCs and POC secretariat; and 4) Create a platform for evaluation, assessment and sharing of best practices between and among POCs and POC Secretariats.
